Author's notes: Hey everyone, I'm back, but what is with only one reviewer, Ra, what is with people reading but not reviewing. (\(*-_-*)/). I was starting to get writers block on this chapter. Oh and I just want to say something for those who are wondering and have not read my profile, I am planning a sequel, it will be called 'A Shadow Horse's Promise' in fact ever since I started this story, my writers block was mainly influenced by inspiration for the next story instead of this story. I have a lot of quotes and ideas from MMMG, I don't own them or Yu-Gi-Oh! the only thing I own is my OC. Please enjoy.
After a few minutes, we finally make it to the lounge and see our friends have been waiting for us. "About time." Marik says, being the first to notice us in the doorway. "What did he want?" Bakura says before we have a chance to sit. "Calm down." Atemu says as he raises his hands in mock surrender. "If you would let us get situated, we'll tell you." "Well," Malik says after we get comfortable on the chairs. "Well what?" Yugi asks. "What did the pharaoh want?" Ryou finishes, being unusually impatient. "I'd say if Yugi would be willing to wear the title of lover." Seto declares. "What makes you say that?" Joey asks. "Because mutt," Seto replies, and points, "he's wearing the bracelet that the lover of a member of the royal family would wear." "For the last time," Joey glares, "I am not a dog." I see Yugi about to say something and I say, "Yugi before you say anything I am going to cover my ears." I put my hands to my ears and nod to Yugi bracing myself for the yells, that I just know are going to happen. "We're also getting officially engaged on Atemu's birthday." Yugi adds.
"You're what!" everyone exclaims. Even with my hands to my ears, with the noise I wince for my eardrums. Atemu and Yugi jump. "We are going to get married." Atemu explains patiently. "Father thinks it's for the best. And quite frankly, I agree with him." "But still." Joey gasps. "You'll understand when you fall in love." Yugi says as looks at his friend. 'With Seto.' I add in my head. "I guess." Joey looks unconvinced. "Aren't you two moving kind of fast?" Marik asks. "This coming from the guy who hooked up with his servant after only knowing him for two weeks?" Bakura sarcastically answers. "Touché." Marik says. I say, "I hooked up with my lover after like, ten seconds."
"But you can't tell anyone." Yugi blurts out. "Say what?" Malik looks confused. "Why?" Marik whines. "I want to rub it in Tea's face." "You're not the only one." Atemu sighs. "Since the official announcement is on the eve of my birthday, it has to remain quiet until then." "I want to tell her more than any of you guys." I say with a pout. "But you can tell her that I'm his lover." Yugi smirks, "I can't wait to see her reaction." "Sweet." Bakura and Marik give their 'Trouble Time!' grins, while I get a very horsey smirk on my face.
"Atemu," Seto glances over, "if Yugi is your lover, he could get hurt by other people. He won't have a personal servant's protection anymore." "Father already thought of that." Atemu replies. "Yugi is still my personal servant, but he is also my lover. He has protection. And besides, I know he likes being close to me. Being a personal servant does just that, rather than if he were just my lover." I look at Bakura, Marik, Ryou, and Malik and instantly avert my eyes. "Will you guys cut that out!" Joey snaps suddenly. Bakura and Marik are heavily making out with Ryou and Malik. "What's the matter?" Bakura asks as he separates from a red faced Ryou. "Jealous?" Marik adds as he did the same. "Never." Joey glares. "It's just weird to see my friends doing that after no one would give us a second glance for so long." "Aw." Yugi smiles and leans forward to give Joey a hug. "So glad you care." "Thanks." Joey mutters. I say, "Guys, don't think too much into it, when we finally meet my lover face to face, there will most likely be a lot of making out. Toshiro told me himself. I am just glad to do it in a human form so I don't have to deal with his dragon's forked tongue. It can taste the air." Seto says, "Hashira, don't be as blunt as the pranksters."
Later, in Atemu's study, I say, "Seto and Joey want it, they want to know what it's like to be in love. For Joey the arguments aren't helping any and for Seto, he is way too stubborn." Yugi and Atemu says, "We were thinking the same thing." Yugi then giggles and says, "Kinda like the way we were." "Yes." Atemu smiles. "But I think we can give them a little nudge in the right direction. With a little help that is." "Then let's get that help," I grin, "and start Operation Puppy Love."
After a while we get together and Bakura, Marik and I came up with an idea, unfortunately the idea gets majorly tweaked by Atemu, Ryou and Yugi, to get Mr. High and Mighty and the Dog together. "Do you think this will work?" Yugi asks. "We're about to find out." Malik answers and points.
Seto and Joey are walking down the hallway, shooting lethal glares at each other. It is obvious they had been arguing and had been interrupted. As they continue on, Seto's feet suddenly slide out from underneath him. Joey stares at him for a second before doubling over in laughter. "It's not funny." Seto snaps. "Yes it is." Joey says between giggles. "I told ya that robe of yours was too long." "I did not trip over my robe." Seto growls as he picks himself off the floor, only to end up flat on his back again. "Okay." Joey mutters as he stares again.
"I told you oil would work." Ryou giggles softly.
"Don't just stand there," Seto glares at the dumb looking servant, "help me up." "Uh-huh." Joey mutters, distracted as he follows the order. "Thanks." Seto grunts lowly, but is ignored. After yanking Seto to his feet, Joey feels the ground in front of him. "It's slick." Joey mutters. "What?" Seto gets on a knee next to him. "Feel." Joey gestures to the floor. "It's slick, like oil or something was spread here." Seto feels the ground and discovers Joey is right. "Guess I'd better find a servant to clean this up." Joey says as he stands back up. "Don't want anyone else tripping." "Yeah." Seto nods as he stands up. "You do that. But then get back to my chambers. You really need some lessons on how to hold a sword properly." "Do not." Joey calls over his shoulder as they leave in different directions. "I fought with one for years."
"Aw, damn it." I curse. "It was a good idea." Marik admits. "If only they both tripped." Malik grumbles. "Now what?" Yugi asks. "We come up with something else." Atemu replies firmly.
One month later, Seto and Joey were no closer to getting together than when they had first met. I had even resorted to asking Toshiro for the same advice he gave me when we were trying to get Atemu and Yugi together. Even with the help, all attempts were met with the ugly face of failure. Even after getting water dumped on them. They had changed at separate times in separate room.
"I can't take it anymore." Bakura groans as he flops onto a couch in the lounge. "There so stubborn." Ryou sigh as he starts to massage Bakura's shoulders. "You're really tense." /Blame the stubborn couple./ I say in horse form. I am currently in horse form because I was hanging out with the palace horses, and my body was to achy and tense to go into human form. "We've tried everything." Marik complains from the love seat. "I'm officially out of ideas." Malik says from next to his lover. "I'm burned out." /Even Drago-Shiro is outta ideas./ I say with a horsey pout. "There has to be something." Atemu groans. "We could try tripping them again." Yugi offers. /We did that already./ I point out. "Yeah," Yugi nods. "But this time, both of them need to trip." "One on top of the other?" Atemu asks. "And lips doing the same." Yugi finishes. "I like it." Bakura says.
"Like what?" Seto asks from the doorway. "Just some prank ideas for Tea." Marik smirks. /Which reminds me./ I start thinking of prank ideas for Tea via telepathy to Bakura, Marik, Malik and Joey. "I don't want to know." Ryou sighs as Joey walks past and sits on a pillow. "Well you can put those pranks to good use in a few hours." Seto says as he sits in a chair that is close to Joey's pillow. "The Mazaki's are arriving in a few hours and staying until after Atemu's birthday." /When did you find this out?/ My big horse eyes widen and I get to my hooves in a matter of seconds. "Half an hour ago." Seto replies. "And it took you this long to tell us why?" Atemu growls. "It was announced in the priest's meeting." Seto explains. "It took another 20 minutes to wrap up, 5 minutes of arguing with the mutt after the meeting, and another 5 to walk down here." "That would do it." Ryou nods his head as he walks over to me and starts to massage my back, which feels so awesome at the moment, while I send even more hilarious and dangerous prank ideas to the four pranksters in the room, earning evil-ish smirking. "Oh joy." Atemu groans. "At least we can rub us being together in her face." Yugi chirps as he fingers his bracelet. "Good point." Atemu agrees.
